What It Means:

It will be Barkov's fifth straight contest on the sidelines.

After scoring 36 points in 71 games a year ago, Barkov has already totaled 35 points (16 goals, 19 assists) in 43 games this season. We currently have him projected for six more goals and nine more assists over the final 21 games, although those numbers will need to be adjusted if he doesn't return soon. In his third season, his 47.8 Corsi For Percentage and -0.8 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength are career-low numbers.
